STOCKTON - Community Response Team officers were assisting the U.S. Marshal's Task Force with surveillance in the 8400 block of Kelley Drive when they spotted a vehicle matching the description of one that was involved in a shooting moments earlier, authorities said.

As Community Response Team officers approached two men in the vehicle, one fled on foot and discarded a handgun before being apprehended, police said. The second man entered a home on Kelley Drive but was later taken into custody.

While investigating, officers found that a duffel bag containing an assault rifle and a stolen handgun had been tossed out of an upstairs bedroom window, police said. Officers also found a bulletproof vest and methamphetamine, authorities said.
